Chapter 2: Dorol
Authors note: Zoja, Natasha, Alenka, Andrea, and Sara are the names I made for the Ageha squad girls(who are strangely not named in the show). Also, credit to BONES and the writers for the borrowed characters in case the lawyers are very bored and try to sue me.
Aboard the Super Izumo
Dominic groggily awoke as he heard his name on the intercom. Having stayed up until 12 tracking the Gekko, he was not in the mood for anything.
Intercom: Dominic, Anemone, you are needed on the bridge, Now.
Dominic went to open the door, but for some reason he could only budge it open a crack. He saw furry flab spilling through the crack in the door.
Dominic: Damn You Gulliver!
Dominic continued to struggle against the door, but to no avail.
Intercom: Dominic, Anemone, where are you?
Anemone passed by Dominic's room, several minutes later, looking somewhat distressed.
Anemone: Gulliver, there you are!
With little effort, she picked him up and he crawled onto her shoulder
Dominic: but.. but how?
They hurried up to the bridge, and faced a disapproving look from Dewey.
Dewey: What on earth would take you ten minutes to get up here? Oh, never mind, lets get to business. As we have made no contact without the Beams, we are assuming they failed and the Gekko have probably escaped.
Zoja: So I suggested we have you two track the Nirvash down. As far as we have seen, the Nirvash cannot handle the onslaught of TypeTHEEND for long…
Anemone: But they have ran off!
Zoja: but if Anemone took out the other two LFO's, the Gekko would be defenseless and the Nirvash open for taking. The Nirvash was sighted by kodani about an hour ago so we suspect they are on the lee line to Siberia. Are you up for this?
Anemone: YES! YES! Finally, no KLF's to interfere. A personal showdown!
Anemone flung herself onto Dominic.
Anemone: Dominic, you are NOT saying no!
Dominic: Fine then, I agree.
The Hakucho
Ray: Charles, I can't find a trace of our caller. They've hid their signal well.
The communicator flashed again. The same person was calling. Ray answered is. On the screen a fairly unassuming black haired man appeared. His surroundings appeared to be in a home office, but the lights were too dim to see much.
Man: I'm sorry for contacting you at such a strange hour, but my company is in urgent need of some… can call me Ishigawa, by the way. If you can meet us in Dorol by the end of tomorrow, we can offer you 10,000$ up front. I can't tell you much over a public channel, but we can give more detail in person. I hope you consider my offer.
He hung up rather suddenly.
Charles: Ten thousand up front is a lot just for protection. This looks way to risky.
Ray: But ten thousand is more than the military pays, and I'd rather do illegal work than war.
Charles: I suppose we could use the money.
A Few Hours Later
Maeter: Mommy, Look! Its the ocean!
She gestured out the window as they descended.
Renton: Eureka, have you been to the ocean before?
Eureka: No, I don't think I have. Is it fun?
Renton: Yeah, although I've never been to it either. I've heard surfing the water is just like reefing in the trapar.
They landed in a small airstrip on the North side of town. Charles and Ray had made everyone fake passports, crossing their fingers the officials would buy them. The Hakucho moved into an empty private hangar, and everyone climbed out.
Charles: We'll need to stay for a week or so. How much is it a night here?
Official: 50$, sir. We just need your signatures and identification.
The official took the IDs and took pictures of them. He found no faults, as far as Renton could tell.
Official: At your service.
Eastern Siberia
Finding the Gekko go proved to be much easier than thought. They hadn't moved very quickly and hadn't strayed off the lee line. Anemone was tailing them with typeTHEEND.
Dominic: Anemone, I think its time to reveal yourself. The gecko doesn't have any place to land for miles.
Anemone rushed into full view of the Gekko go, firing a barrage of missiles at the left wing. Two LFO's came out, the 909 and 606, Talho piloting the 909. Anemone rushed towards the 606 the moment it came out, breaking its board in half. The 909 dodged to the front of the ship, surfing around in front of the right wing
Anemone: Dominic, typeTHEEND can't feel its twin. WHERE ARE YOU NIRVASH!
Anemone swiped at the 909, but a shot from the gecko go forced her to retreat. The 909 rushed towards her as a flurry of missiles from the gecko were fired from behind. Anemone dodged downwards, but several missile pods burst open her cockpit and deafened her. Anemone's vision grew blurry as she struggled to keep TypeTHEEND aloft.
Dominic: Anemone, ANEMONE! I'm coming to get you!
Tsuzuku!
Please, Please, review and/or comment. I'd like some criticism, of the constructive variety, of course, if you want the next chapters to be written sightly better. Thanks!
